Chapter 13: Melting
1879 Words
That shout nearly scared my soul out of me.
I hurriedly took the stone, which still had a bit of residue on it, but it was quite clean; the quality of the water at least reached the base of ice jade. I examined the material closely, feeling very happy inside. Qiangguang took it over, shining a bright light into it
I said, "Ice-type blue water material, aged, blue water is a vast category with significant color variations and price differences. Although the cotton in the material from Muna is a characteristic feature, when it becomes too abundant, it can overshadow the blue color. Fortunately, this piece of material doesn't have much
My words finally brought a hint of a smile to Qian Guang's face. He looked at me and gave my shoulder a hearty pat. Although he didn't say anything, I could feel his happiness.
"This gambling on stones still relies on luck; you can't blame the toilet if you can't take a dump, right?"
At that moment, I heard what the young man Wang Gui said and looked at him, while that Boss Li, furious, was pointing at him with trembling hands. However, Wang Gui didn't give him a good look either, wearing a sarcastic expression.
I suddenly remembered and said, "Brother Guang, why don't you give the little brother a red envelope?"
Qian Guang listened, smiled for a moment, then took out a stack of money from his wallet, at least over a thousand. He directly handed it to Wang Gui, and the young man was also very happy, saying, "Thank you, boss. Wishing you great fortune and prosperity."
We won the bet, and many people around us were amazed, but they couldn't help but mock Boss Li a bit, saying that he had put in so much effort to pick a stone, only to end up making someone else rich.
I feel very happy. This is how gambling stones work; it’s all about luck and fate. This piece is all about luck, but experience is crucial. If I had overlooked that white mist, this piece would definitely have been treated as waste and used to fill the road. But I managed to cut it
Qian Guang took the stone and found Boss Wei, who was also very happy at that moment. Upon seeing Qian Guang, he said, "Let's talk in my office."
Qian Guang nodded and followed Boss Wei into the office. Boss Wei's office was quite simple, with just a desk and a sofa. He had us sit down and said, "Brother Guang, this material is good. The wood from Muna is already quite rare in the market, and we are also
Qian Guang looked at me and said, "How much do you think this piece of material is worth?"
I looked at the material; this piece is high-end, reaching the level of ice type, and it's blue ice, suitable for making bracelets. The conservative price is two million, but of course, I wouldn't ask for that. I said, "Boss, the market price for two pairs of bracelets is at
Boss Wei listened and felt a bit troubled. He said, "You understand the market, but this material has relatively more cotton in the middle. Even if it can be branded, it’s not worth much. Besides, business is tough right now, and I need to manage my cash flow. If you're not
Two million is my bottom line; he didn't actually exceed it. I looked at the money and said, "Just sell it; I need the cash urgently."
Qian Guang nodded and said, "Alright, Boss Wei, I've given you the goods, now please transfer the p*****t to me."
"Hey, don't worry, Brother Guang. We're old friends, so I won't let you down. No need to wait until tomorrow; it can be done tonight. Transferring money online is easy now. If the goods are good, should I help you with a deal?" Boss Wei said.
Qian Guang nodded and said, "All the red envelopes given by the staff count as mine."
"Then I'll thank Brother Guang on behalf of the people below." Boss Wei said, and as he spoke, he took Shitou and left.
I looked at Qian Guang and said, "Aren't you afraid he might run away?"
Qian Guang said, "This store is worth a billion just for its storefront; what does two million even mean to him?""Don't be fooled by his polite demeanor towards us; he is actually the real big boss. People like him are quite frightening. He can humble himself, so it's only natural that he makes money. This is a lesson I've learned from him over the years: it's not that the more arrogant someone is, the
Regarding Qian Guang's words, I cannot agree. I believe that the more capable one is, the more powerful they become.
We waited for a long time in Boss Wei's shop before he finally returned. He handed a list to Qian Guang and said, "Brother Guang, the list is ready. You can go back and check the accounts; it should arrive in about an hour."
Qian Guang nodded and stood up, ready to leave, but Boss Wei said, "Brother Guang, what is this little friend's name?"
I said, "My name is Zhao Fei."
"Oh, Brother Zhao Fei, your insight is quite sharp. That Boss Li is an expert; he has purchased ten million worth of stones from me. But I didn't expect him to miss out today and let you take advantage. You really are impressive," said Boss Wei.
I haven't said anything yet, and Qian Guang already said, "He's just lucky. I'm only taking him out to see the world. Don't praise him; it'll just inflate his ego."
"Well then, Brother Zhao Fei, are you interested in taking a trip to Myanmar..." Boss Wei said.
I was somewhat surprised to hear that; who among those who gamble on stones wouldn't want to visit Myanmar? But Guo Guang said, "Boss Wei, let's talk about it another time; we have other matters to attend to."
He said that while giving me a glare, and I just smiled in response. Then I followed Qian Guang and left the Dachang stone gambling shop. We got into the car, and Zhuzi turned to look at Qian Guang, asking, "Back to the villa?"
Qian Guang said, "I went to the bar and won two million today."
After hearing two million, the pillar felt it was unbelievable and somewhat foolishly asked, "Did we win?"
Qian Guang gave the pillar's shoulder a hard slap and said, "Yes, let's go back and have a drink..."
After he finished speaking, he loosened his tie, and the expression on his face looked quite pleased. I felt the same way. Two million—what an enormous number! I had never thought about it before. However, there was a slight sense of frustration in my heart; I could only take two hundred
Zhuzi excitedly drove back to the bar, and by this time it was nearly midnight. The bar was very lively, filled with tourists and locals alike, all immersed in the joyful music, using alcohol to boost their hormones.
Qian Guang booked a private room for us, and we walked in. Zhuzi had arranged everything, and soon a lot of drinks came up. Qian Guang personally opened a bottle for me and handed it over. As I took it, he smiled and said, "Damn, two million, you
I looked at him, feeling very excited, yet he still carried himself with great poise. I could hardly imagine that I had just won two million in one go; that number felt so distant from me. However, I felt quite frustrated inside. The more money there was, the more my disappointment grew,
Qian Guang clinked glasses with me, and I tossed aside my worries, taking a hearty sip. It felt great; this is a moment to celebrate. At least I didn't lose, and I even won two hundred thousand.
Qian Guang stood up and said, "Zhuzi, call Xiao Mi over for me..."
After a while, Xiao Mi walked in from outside. I really wanted to hold her close. Her fiery red lips made me a bit entranced, and I found myself reminiscing about her scent.
She looked at me as if she had drunk a lot of alcohol. After coming in, she took the initiative to sit next to me, and Qian Guang said, "Xiao Mi, he won't be going back this week, so keep him company. No need to come to work."
After hearing that, I was a bit surprised. Not going back for a week?I still have classes. I said, "Guang Ge, I still have classes. If I don't go back for a week, I'll lose all my credits."
Qian Guang looked at me sincerely and asked, "What is the purpose of going to school? Isn't it to gain more knowledge and find an ideal job to make money?"But how much can you really earn working for someone else?"Let's go gamble on stones again tomorrow and play bigger."
I feel like the money light has already taken over. I really want to win more, but the more I win, the more disappointed I become, because my share is very small, and the money light always takes the lion's share.
I said, "My mom hopes that I can attend class properly. She doesn't know that I've gone out to gamble on stones. I'm deceiving her; if I don't go back for a week, she'll find out. I don't want her to be disappointed."
Qian Guang fell silent, his gaze suddenly blank, as if he was recalling something. After a long time, he said hopefully, "Listening to Mom is right, it is right."
His words seemed to carry deep feelings, as if tinged with a certain unwillingness to regret. I couldn't understand it. Then Qiang Guang suddenly patted me on the shoulder, lowered his head, and said, "But a man should know what is right for him to do, and he should also
I nodded, and Qian Guang smiled and said, "Have fun, enjoy yourself, today it's on me."
I nodded; I was very happy that Qian Guang would let me go. Qian Guang stood up, ready to leave, but with his back to me, he said, "That Boss Wei wants you to go to Myanmar. It's not safe there, and I hope you won't go, you understand?"
I could tell what Qian Guang meant; he didn't want me to go, and perhaps he didn't want me to connect or get close to anyone else besides him at all. I felt his desire to control me from the very beginning.
I said, "Got it, Guang Ge, I don't feel safe when you're not around."
Qian Guang smiled, buttoned up his suit, and left. He said, "Xiao Mi, the more he plays for a day, the more I’ll give you an extra thousand yuan..."
After the door closed, I finally returned to my senses from Guang Ge's words. Xiao Mi suddenly smiled at me, reached out to hold my face, and said, "You have to choose one now: the bad woman or mom..."
Before I had a chance to think, those red lips pressed against mine, leaving me unable to refuse...
